The secondary of the San Francisco 49ers is a great one, one that tied for the NFL lead in interceptions last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In addition to 20 interceptions, San Francisco allowed just 6.4 yards per attempt in 2022 (tied for eighth best in the league), gave up just 20 touchdowns through the air (third best in the NFL) and allowed completions to go for first downs just 31.7 percent of the time (seventh best). It will be a stiff test opening up the season in Week One at Acrisure Stadium for Kenny Pickett and the Steelers’ offense.
